Happy days! Working a treat. Many thanks for your help

Hi Stem Thanks for the lightening fast reply! No, the photos are as I found it (currently working ok) as wired for the RX1 (ie nothing in terminal 4) So for Hive 2 do I need to loop the live to common? What do I do (no rude suggestions) with the CH-OFF wire? If by some chance I have the...

Hi I would like to change my programmer (Danfoss TP5000si-RF / RX1) controlling my Feroli Modena 102 combi boiler to Hive 2. It seemed pretty straightforward to begin with but although the Hive receiver is working fine sending the on/off signal etc the boiler isn't firing up. I have checked...

Hive installation photos

Thanks again for your response Echo, it really has been a great help to me.

Since my last post I've had a chance to read up on the difference between mid position and diverter 3 port valves and am going to suggest that my plumber changes the installed diverter to a mid position as I'd like the option to heat water while the central heating is on and of course to get...

Aha. I think you might have hit the nail on the head. Just read up the blurb on the 3-port and it is indeed of the "diverter" variety. It is still do-able?

Hi Echo. Many thanks for your quick response. It's a brand new installation. Hot water previously was via a bottled gas heater. There's a 3 port valve for sure so I assume it's the Y plan as you call it. The solar does "look after itself" as far as I know and isn't wired into anything else...

This might be a bit of a challenge as I really don't know an awful lot in this field but to cut a long story short I've taken a Hive 2 (with hot water) out to Spain for a new oil fired central heating/hot water (with solar) system. Naturally enough the Spanish plumbers aren't familiar with the...
